My Experience

First of all, I wanted to say thanks to everyone for the great posts....it really helped with my buying experience. 2 weeks ago I had negotiated for a Titan XE King Cab with a Preffered Package, Mud Guard, and Floor Mats for $26380 (out the door). They told me that this would have power windows/locks included, but as everyone knows, King Cab XE's don't come with power windows/locks. They wanted to go to some electronic store to install these locks/windows and install them in a shoddy manner, but still get me out the door @ $26,380. I offered $26,000 for it and we couldn't agree so I walked.
As time went by, I saw more and more Titans on the road and would pull along side them and ask how much they paid and where the got it, etc... Well one day I pulled along side a Titan and happend to talk with the Sales Manager to another dealership and he gave me his card and told me "I'll take care of you" (Haven't we heard that before). A week later after reading these posts, I sent him an E-mail and told him that the best price I've seen on a Titan is $450 over invoice. He told me to come in and pick any Titan on his lot and he would go $300 over invoice. I saw a beautiful Smoke, SE Titan, King Cab, with Popular Captain and Utility Bed Package that I wanted. He printed out the invoice on the truck (the same that's on all these internet sites) and added his $300 plus $499 Document fees and tax, tag, title for $27,154 (out the door). I asked him if $27,100 was possible and he smiled and we shook hands. That other dealership has since called back 4 times begging me to take that XE off their hands for $26,000. Ha, for a $1100 more I get an SE, Popular Package with Captain Chairs, Utility Bed Package, and because I bought it on Valentines Day, the fiancee thinks it was for her =)
